Interested in a career in Arts management?

The Inspire to Aspire Academy (ITA) is running an ambassador programme for 16-19 year olds for the Heart of Flame Festival 2014.  The application process has just opened and will close on the 10th December 2013. The programme will start in January/February and will run through until July. The ITA describes the benefits of being part of the ambassador team for 2014 as 'enormous'; all ambassadors will receive an emergency first aid at work qualification along with either a Bronze, Silver or Gold Arts Award (Gold Awards are worth 35 UCAS Points).  In addition ambassadors, get 'an amazing work experience opportunity of running their own event, making their own promotion video/documentary and work on professional events'.
Ambassador opportunities are as follows:   

· Producing - Film and/or Events

· Event Management

· Stage Management

· Marketing

· Film Production

Ambassadors will meet on a weekly basis either on a Saturday or Monday Evening at the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, to complete the Arts Award along with other courses, in addition to workshops on their chosen job area.  All skills developed look great on UCAS applications as well as CVs. 'The best way to learn is to do in the arts industry, ITA try to make this possible wherever we can'.
